What is the main difference between this Stage 3+ clutch and a stock clutch?

This Stage 3+ clutch is designed to handle significantly more torque and horsepower than a factory clutch. It offers a firmer pedal feel and a more direct engagement, which is beneficial for modified engines or aggressive driving.

Does this clutch kit include a flywheel?

This SPEC clutch kit includes the pressure plate, clutch disc, and release bearing. A flywheel is not included in this kit. You may need to resurface or replace your existing flywheel during installation.

What kind of driving is this clutch best suited for?

The Stage 3+ clutch is well-suited for spirited driving, track use, or vehicles with engine modifications that increase horsepower and torque. While it can be used for daily driving, expect a firmer pedal feel and potentially a slightly more abrupt engagement than a stock clutch.

About this part

Product Details

This SPEC Stage 3+ clutch kit for your 1999-2003 Saab 9-3 with the 5-speed 2.0L engine includes the pressure plate, a high-performance clutch disc, and the necessary release bearing. This kit is designed for the Viggen, SE Hot, and SE models, offering a significant upgrade for those looking to handle more power or a more aggressive driving style.

The Stage 3+ designation means this clutch is built to handle increased torque and horsepower, making it a solid choice if you've modified your engine or plan to. The pressure plate is engineered for a strong clamping force, ensuring that the clutch disc stays firmly engaged even under demanding conditions. The clutch disc itself features a robust design, capable of dissipating heat effectively during spirited driving. This combination aims to provide a more direct and responsive feel compared to the stock clutch, with a pedal feel that is firm but manageable for daily driving, though it will be stiffer than the original.

When installing this kit, it's important to ensure that all mating surfaces are clean and that the flywheel is in good condition. Resurfacing or replacing the flywheel might be necessary depending on its current state to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the new clutch. This kit is a comprehensive solution for upgrading your Saab 9-3's drivetrain to handle more power reliably.
